I enter 2015 asking God to keep these things deep in my heart and not just in my head. Because it’s one thing to write what you know in your head but it’s another thing to walk it out. I don’t know what 2015 holds for my family. Could I be like our two dear friends who lost spouses suddenly and unexpectedly? Will God’s plans in 2015 for me and my family involve major sickness or grief? Could it involve loss? All I know is that what I believe to be true of God impacts everything I approach and everything that comes my way unexpectedly.
So what are you choosing to believe in 2015? Would love to hear a few things from your heart as well. Oh go ahead and post a comment.
I couldn’t have made a better list myself. I’ve found that, like you, my belief in these things doesn’t change but that restating it helps keep the simplicity of it “in the front of my brain”. I’m going to post this list where I can read it every day. Sure helps me think of significant resolutions AND is where I’ll find the strength to change. Encouraging, M and just what I needed to kick start this new year!
Yes, I think you put the nail on the head when you talk about “restating” and how that helps keep it at the front of our brains and hearts. Sometimes we just need to say out loud what we already know. Happy New Year, Sherry!
